test method: EN374

If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which differ from EN 374,

contact the supplier of the CE approved gloves. This recommendation is advisory only and must

be evaluated by an Industrial Hygienist familiar with the specific situation of anticipated use by our

customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific use scenario.

Body Protection

Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected

according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

Respiratory protection

Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle

respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering

controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use

respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such

as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
